An “important” offer has been made to Cristiano Ronaldo’s entourage to extend his contract, which expires this summer.
After contract talks with the ailing Saudi Pro League team came to a standstill, Cristiano Ronaldo received a “tempting” offer to leave Al Nassr.
Ronaldo made a historic move in December 2022 when he signed a contract with Al Nassr, reportedly earning £177 million annually, after leaving Manchester United for the second time.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner has 97 goals in 109 appearances with the team and has previously stated that he is “happy at the club” and will “probably retire” with the Riyadh team.
Ronaldo, who was out of contract in the summer, was allegedly in talks with Al Nassr about extending his contract by two years, but those conversations have been put on hold due to the team’s dismal performance, which has caused them to drop to fourth place in the SPL.
Al Nassr will undoubtedly finish the season without a trophy after losing to the AFC Champions League in the semi-finals.
Cristiano Ronaldo is crucial to his career’s last move.
Additionally, they may be changing their talisman and the face of football in Saudi Arabia. According to Jose Felix Diaz of MARCA, an unidentified Brazilian team has made Ronaldo and his group a “significant” offer. The club wants to make one final big deal before the Portuguese superstar hangs up his boots.
The plan is referred to as a “off-market offer” and some of the money for it would come from outside investors.
The article claims that because the offer is “tempting,” Ronaldo is currently in a “dilemma” on what to do next.
Ronaldo might decline a big contract to participate in the Club World Cup.
Al Nassr allegedly “almost sealed” Ronaldo’s contract renewal, but it is reportedly “evaporating by the minute”—raising the prospect of the 40-year-old making a final career move to South America.
The Manchester United and Real Madrid great is expected to earn €183 million, according to MARCA, which would continue to make him the highest-paid player in the world.
However, due to the club’s dismal season, it is now “up in the air” and a new challenge might be imminent.
A move might pave the way for an appearance in the Club World Cup in the United States this summer, despite the fact that no specific club has been chosen in Brazil.
Palmeiras, Flamengo, Fluminense, and Botafogo are all representing Brazil in the redesigned 32-team competition.
